Midterm review: Minimum viable product
The MVP should have implemented all of the following:
- Clean up and improve current codebase.
- Fix the problem in detecting the illegal format of comments like /*** fail ***/.
- Fix the problem of an unexpected empty line shows up after closing the open brace of a function.
- Create a sniff that will give warning for detecting function or variable named with lower camelcase style.
- Create a sniff that will check if the source code using PHP superglobals like $_GET, $_POST, etc.
- Create a fix method for adding a new line before a single-line comment.
